NAME¶
plmtex - Write text relative to viewport boundaries
SYNOPSIS¶
plmtex(
side,
disp,
pos,
just,
text)
DESCRIPTION¶
Writes text at a specified position relative to the viewport boundaries. Text
may be written inside or outside the viewport, but is clipped at the subpage
boundaries. The reference point of a string lies along a line passing through
the string at half the height of a capital letter. The position of the
reference point along this line is determined by
just, and the position
of the reference point relative to the viewport is set by
disp and
pos.
Redacted form: General:
plmtex(side, disp, pos, just, text) Perl/PDL:
plmtex(disp, pos, just, side, text)
This function is used in examples 3,4,6-8,11,12,14,18,23,26.
ARGUMENTS¶
- side (const char *, input)
- Specifies the side of the viewport along which the text is
to be written. The string must be one of: b: Bottom of viewport, text
written parallel to edge. bv: Bottom of viewport, text written at right
angles to edge. l: Left of viewport, text written parallel to edge. lv:
Left of viewport, text written at right angles to edge. r: Right of
viewport, text written parallel to edge. rv: Right of viewport, text
written at right angles to edge. t: Top of viewport, text written parallel
to edge. tv: Top of viewport, text written at right angles to edge.
- disp (PLFLT, input)
- Position of the reference point of string, measured
outwards from the specified viewport edge in units of the current
character height. Use negative disp to write within the
viewport.
- pos (PLFLT, input)
- Position of the reference point of string along the
specified edge, expressed as a fraction of the length of the edge.
- just (PLFLT, input)
- Specifies the position of the string relative to its
reference point. If just=0., the reference point is at the left and
if just=1., it is at the right of the string. Other values of
just give intermediate justifications.
- text (const char *, input)
- The string to be written out.
